This project is designed to take text and information from the 101
Library of Congress Country Studies and the associated 48
country profiles (some of which are pending). The text from these documents is in the public domain and may be incorporated into Wikipedia. Many Wikipedia articles already contain text from the LOCCS, but this project will attempt to ensure that the texts are used systematically. The LOCCS specializes in often overlooked countries. Including information about them will fight
systemic bias in Wikipedia.
As participants incorporate sections they should strike out what they have used with the html command <s>...</s>. Also link to the article the text has gone to. Also strike outdated and unusable text. Once no useful information is left, the country will be considered completed.
The Country Studies are old, but some information may have a place. For instance, old economic information from the CS on
Spain was used to make the
Economic history of Spain.
